SOUTH STORMONT — Three people from Cornwall are facing charges after SDG OPP responded to a robbery on Collins Road overnight Wednesday.

Police said the trio, wearing disguises and armed, broke into the residence just after 12:15 a.m. and assaulted two adults with weapons. They stole undisclosed items from the home before fleeing the scene. The responding officer located the vehicle a short distance away and alleged the man driving the vehicle was under the influence of alcohol.

Both victims were taken to hospital where they were treated and released for non-life threatening injuries.

Dennis Gowan, 55, Blake Woods, 25, and Clarissa Square, 25, were each charged with break and enter. OPP said the investigation continues and additional charges are pending.

All three were held in police custody pending a bail hearing in Cornwall court.
